Their helmets with their double-chinstrap configuration look letter-perfect -- until a player goes into the game, at which point the chances of his helmet popping off are ... let's just say the odds are not acceptable.

Hamp was in charge of everything, including the helmets, and in those days everyone wore a single chinstrap, except Don Maynard, now in the NFL Hall of Fame, who wore no chinstrap at all, but insisted on picking out his own jockstrap every day.

As far as I know, only a few quarterbacks go with the single chinstrap -- Brett Favre, Aaron Rodgers, and Kyle Orton -- but everyone on a football field these days runs the real risk of separating head from helmet, with all the risk that implies.
